GET ME REWRITE: Meet the Texas politicos with nothing better to do than pimp for Trump in New York City

 

Headline:  The Texas TribuneThe Texas Tribune, 5/21/2024

Patrick, Nehls and Jackson were among a steady stream of VIP spectators who had flown in to watch the proceeding. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, a longtime Trump supporter who is a contender for attorney general in Trump’s administration if he wins, came to New York to watch the trial last month. Paxton launched an unsuccessful legal challenge in four battleground states over Trump’s 2020 election loss, and was a featured speaker at the Washington rally preceding the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol. 

Trump is charged with 34 counts of falsifying business records over his 2016 $130,000 payment to adult film actress Stephanie Clifford, known professionally as Stormy Daniels. While he could face imprisonment if convicted, it is an unlikely sentence for someone convicted of a non-violent crime.
